Royal Enfields climb 'The Highest Pass' in movie

Royal Enfield motorcycles conquer the Himalayas in new movie.

Royal Enfield motorcycles co-star in an independent movie that premieres in Los Angeles, Calif. April 27. "The Highest Pass" already has won awards at film festivals.

In the movie a brave yogi faces a prophecy of his death as he leads seven Americans through the Himalayas on the highest motorable road in the world.

While this independent film may not reach mass audiences, it will help cement the popular vision of Royal Enfield motorcycles as India's mountain conquering adventure motorcycles.

The premiere is at 7:45 p.m. Friday, April 27, at Laemmle's, 1332 Second St., Santa Monica. There are five showings daily there and at the Laemmle's at 673 E. Colorado Blvd., Pasadena. Tickets are on sale now. There are even group rates available if you want to bring your whole motorcycle club.

Extra sound for the film was recorded in March, 2011 using a Royal Enfield running through the hills around Los Angeles.
